ORCHIDS. 
The Culture of Orchids is one of our great Specialties. 
WE are the pioneers in commercial Orchid growing, and from our long experience we know which are 
good and which are not good. We cultivate only the best varieties and offer the best plants only, 
nothing but hrst^class stock. Cheap Orchids are not worth growing. We guarantee our stock to be 
as represented, or will replace same, or refund the cash. 
Rose Hill Nurseries— ^'iew ol one of our Orchid Houses (Cattleya). 
it is a well known fact to those interested in Orchids that these plants are becoming very scarce in their 
native habitat, and that, at a day not far distant, it will not be possible to obtain large consignments of fine 
plants, as in recent years, heoce we have been compelled to provide another source of supply, viz : that obtained 
through hybridization, which has become an important factor in the development of valuable and improved vari- 
eties and is watched with considerable interest by lovers of Orchids. At first glance this would seem to be a long, 
tedious and unprofitable process, yet after the first hybrids make their appearance, the hope of obtaining some 
new and valuable variety inspires the ardent worker, and may well repay him for all his trouble, as quite often a 
plant worth hundreds of dollars will be the result. Hybridizing Orchids bids fair to become very popular.
